Benefits of Warehouse Management System

‍

Did you know that standard European trailer is 13.6 meters long? If you didn’t before, now you do. If you wonder how this is relevant, picture loads of trucks equipped with such trailers queuing around warehouse premises for all day. Such sight was regular for Iceco group before they integrated Warehouse management system (WMS). Sharing their experience with us today - Head of Logistics, Andrius Morkus.

WMS and TMS - Warehouse Efficiency Solution

Along their journey of growth, Iceco has not avoided their challenges. One of them being the queues of trucks slowly piling up, negatively impacting daily operation. Since there were no clear guidelines to manage daily traffic flow, overcrowding certain parts of the day was common, along with additional communication related issues. As a food product manufacturer, it was necessary to take some action to resolve such a crucial issue:

• Truck congestions at company premises

During their logistics solution searches, Iceco Assets have approached GoRamp as a potential resolution to their problem. To become a solution, we have offered two of our systems – Time Slot management system and Transportation management system. Time Slot provides ability to structurize warehouse operation by digitalizing all relevant communication and providing clear performance indicators allowing to further improve efficiency. TMS allows simple transportation order creation and execution while providing ability to instantly expand your range of carriers, allowing you to select only the best transportation service providers.

To help you choosing a right logistics partner we wrote a blog "6 Factors to Consider When Choosing a Logistics Partner".
